After the employees went, then came the branches. In 2010, banks shuttered 1,100 branches.
So reports The Washington Post's Lydia DePillis in The internet didn't kill bank branches. Bank mergers did.DePillis explains why:
It's not because people aren't depositing cash. Consumers who are less willing to spend money in a shaky economy are more likely to sock it away in a bank account (especially in Washington D.C., which leads the nation's large cities in deposit growth). And it's not entirely because people are banking online. Rather, it's because a number of large banks in the same markets have merged–like Wachovia and Wells Fargo, or BB&T and Colonial–and decided to save on real estate costs by closing down branches.
In March, The Wall Street Journal found, "Nearly 20% of branch shutdowns over the past year were in towns outside the most populated areas of the country, according to the SNL data."

Unlike most of you , I don't have an anime themed wallpaper, mainly because an anime themed wallpaper would be too distracting. It would entice me to look at more anime and browse this site even more.
Anyways, here is my wallpaper. I like the Milky Way (hmmmmmh I like milk). Guess why there are white boxes on the screencap of my wallpaper. Please take a guess.

I had used xwindows dock for a while, but I got tired of it. I am using rainmeter with google-style flat style icons for the dock (Icon Launcher Skin). Also used is "Elegance" rainmeter skin for the recycle bin and date, a flat semi-transparent visual style called "Geniun 8", and a custom icon for the start orb.

A 42-year-old Orangeville man is facing 18 charges for repeatedly sexually assaulting his stepsister for more than a decade.
According to police, the assaults spanned 13 years and began when the victim was six-years-old.
"For these type of charges there are no statue of limitations, even though the incidents stem from early 1985," Orangeville Police Service Const. Scott Davis told The Banner. "We gain our evidence from what the victim and witnesses tell us, and then any supporting evidence we can find in relation to what the victim and witness relay to us."
Police began investigating on Oct. 10, after a 33-year-old woman reported she was the victim of numerous assaults that occurred at several properties throughout Dufferin County.
"During the 13 years, the family resided at multiple locations in Orangeville and one location just on the outskirts of Orangeville," Davis said.
The accused, whose name was not released, was 16 years old when the alleged assaults began. The Orangeville man was arrested on Wednesday (Nov. 7) without incident.
"We've not released the name of the accused to protect the identity of the victim," Davis said.
The man is charged with six counts of sexual assault, three counts of sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching, two counts of gross indecency, assault with a weapon and weapons dangerous. Davis said all charges related to the illicit relationship between the man and his stepsister.
"I can't get into the context of the allegations, but the assault with the weapon and weapons dangerous are part of the incidents that happened," Davis said.
The accused was held in custody pending a bail hearing before being released by the court.

That Oldsmobile Bravada ignition switch is simply the component that allows the starter to have the battery energy essential to fire up the motor. That ignition switch isn't restricted to ignition functionality; it also enables you to switch electric-powered equipment on your Oldsmobile Bravada on and off.
If you encounter a number of wiring problems or the enclosure of the ignition switch gets damaged, the switch may not do the job after. A failed switch can lead to your struggling to start off your car efficiently because there will be no chance for the starter motor to engage. If your own Oldsmobile Bravada's ignition switch malfunctions, it is best when you swap it immediately. A fresh switch on your Oldsmobile Bravada helps guarantee quick ignition so you won't encounter any ignition issues. It can be a little difficult to handle more modern automobiles' triggers, so be sure you seek advice from your automobile's user manual before fiddling with your Oldsmobile Bravada's ignition switch.
You constantly have a connection to reliable components within Parts Train's extensive catalog, which includes an outstanding Oldsmobile Bravada ignition switch. The catalog's products are furnished by brands just like APA/URO Parts, Crown, and Standard that have established themselves in the automotive parts business. The greatest part of buying at Parts Train is that you're going to get big savings and also delight in excellent value with every single order that you complete.

Too Far Gone For God?
The question of whether a Christian might bear arms and be Peace Officers is not simply a conversational or academic matter. This and related questions cannot simply be answered in the solitude of meditation and reflection, but in the crucible of events.
What happened to the 'good' in 'the good, the bad, and the ugly'?
When I make presentations for Peace Officer Ministries at churches and community groups, I usually open with the question: "How many of you have called the police this week and said, "My spouse and I are getting along great, my children are obedient and brought home straight A's and all my neighbors love me. Could you send over a couple of officers so we can have some tea and share with them all that goodness?" Never? Yeah, well I never received that call either!
We chuckle at that idea because it seems so absurd. We all know that we only call the police when something bad is going on. Even if it's not murder or mayhem, or some other minor dust-up, the police only get called when things get out of line. So, the person as a police officer might, after hundreds upon hundreds of these calls, wonder if what they are doing is only a necessary evil.
I remember a call I got early in my career while I was working as a patrol officer. The call was that someone had been shot in an apartment complex in my beat. I was not too far away and after acknowledging the dispatcher, I headed to the location of incident. It just so happened, that one of the fire stations was right across the street from the incident and yet, I somehow beat the ambulance to the scene.
I shut my siren off and pulled into the parking lot. I grabbed my night stick (this was before ASP batons!) and put it into its ring on my duty belt. As I approached the building several angry people were in front of the building. They were shouting at me, "What in the *&^%$ are you doing here? We don't need you. Where's the ambulance?" I didn't have much time to process what they were saying at that time and one person pointed out the apartment where the incident occurred.
Several boys had been sitting on a bed in the apartment and somehow got the bright idea to play with a handgun – a revolver. But it was not mere curiosity that had them handling the gun. They began a game of 'Russian Roulette," and as you can imagine, I was called to the scene because someone lost. I made my way into the apartment and as moved toward the back bedroom, I instructed the people in the house to go to the front.
There he was, maybe 8 or 10 years old lying on the floor between the bed and the wall. The revolver which had erupted loudly just minutes before now lay quietly on the bed. There was a lot of blood, and the injury to the boy's head was devastating. He made no noise except for what sounded to me like one last gurgling exhale. The medics arrived and he was pronounced dead on the scene. Other officers arrived and as they began interview people, I stayed in the bedroom. We didn't need anyone else in the crime scene and since I was already there, watching the room and the boy fell to me. I did have a bit of a helpless feeling as I heard that last gurgle and knew that if the medics couldn't have done anything, my first aid skills wouldn't help. (I found out later when I got into the Homicide Unit that it was probably just some remaining air in his lungs making its way out as the chemical changes in his body had already started.)
I had all my issued equipment - clean, dry, and serviceable - I had my training, and my desire to do a good job, but there I stood basically helpless to do anything. I began to think about the greeting I received from the people there. On one hand, looking at that boy, I understood why they were upset. On the other hand, "Hey, I'm one of the good guys coming to try and help!"
I came to learn that in many neighborhoods the police are not seen as heroic figures, but as the ones who have "carted away in handcuffs my dad, my uncle, my brother, etc." But, it is not only people who are not fond of the police who see them as, at best, avoidable, and at worst a necessary evil. Officers see the bad and the ugly and wonder, where's the good? As incidents such as this one pile up in an officer's career he too can begin to see his work, and as an extension, himself as a necessary evil. Some then can find 'religion' as being ridiculous and others say, "Oh, I'm too far gone for God."

Important News
You've been a huge part of EcoBonus®, the first-ever, multi-brand, eco-friendly rewards program. Since our launch, we have grown to over 50,000 members.
We built an information community so members could make informed shopping choices, brought in respected national brands and smaller, regional ones, and rewarded shoppers for making eco-conscious decisions. We developed an app to make earning points even easier, and we offered coupons as rewards so members could try other eco-friendly products at a reduced cost.
While these were great strides in the right direction, we haven't been able to scale the program quickly enough to make it a success. To that end, we've made the difficult decision to end the EcoBonus program.
This means members will have a few more weeks to earn points, and an additional month to exchange those points for rewards. After that time, EcoBonus.com will be shuttered.
We know this may be disappointing news, and we'd like to help members get the most out of the remaining time with EcoBonus. Here are the key dates to keep in mind.
Key dates for members*
Last day to download the EcoBonus app from Google Play or the App Store so you can upload receipts containing eligible products from select retailers.
Last day to upload receipts for points via the EcoBonus app.
Last day to enter codes from Annie's, Nature's Gate, and Seventh Generation packages for points at EcoBonus.com.
Last day to spend points/select a reward.
EcoBonus.com website no longer available.
*All changes take place after midnight Pacific Standard Time.
Great rewards available
We want to make sure all members who have earned points are able to choose a reward. While supplies last, we've lowered our Woodstock coupon for $1 off any frozen fruit or vegetable to 1 point! And for 8 points, members can get a coupons from other well-known brands like King Arthur Flour, Little Duck Organics, Lotus Foods Rice, and many more. You'll want to move fast to snag these coupons. Once they're gone, they're gone!
If donating points to charity is more your style, we've got almost a dozen nonprofits to consider.
- Help Vitamin Angels deliver essential vitamins and minerals needed by young children and mothers so they can lead meaningful and productive lives.
- Assist Healthy Child Healthy World in empowering parents to take action and protect children from harmful chemicals.
- Donate to the Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness, a group that helps ensure clean air, water, and wildlife habitat so that future generations of paddlers can experience the pristine, wild landscapes of the BWCAW, a wilderness area within the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota.
- If you have only 1 point, make it count by donating to it to Feed My Starving Children, whose meals are distributed in nearly 70 countries through partnerships with orphanages, schools, clinics, refugee camps and malnourishment centers.
Sweepstakes in Progress
You've probably heard about the Baby Gear Sweepstakes that is currently in progress. Know that this promotions will continue as planned, and winners will be picked according to the original schedules. So keep uploading those receipts for your chance to win!
We're thrilled that you've been a part of the EcoBonus family, and hope you'll continue to make choices that are good for you and good for the planet long after this program ends. If you have any questions, check the EcoBonus Community or contact us.

Do your plans for Valentine's Day include a quiet dinner at home with your sweetie?
Do you want to make an easy & chocolatey sweet treat without having a ton of left overs that you will end up
eating giving away?
Look no further; these chocolate cupcakes are the dessert for you!
When I found this recipe at An Edible Mosaic, I was a bit leery to try it. I haven't had much success with egg-less or vegan recipes in the past. I'm so very happy that I decided to give these cupcakes a shot. They might be one of the BEST chocolate cupcakes I have ever had. They are extremely moist and rich.

Diner Reviews
Excekkent food. menu has become a
bit more expensive. Waitress seemed confused. She blamed it on the new menu, but she may have been a bit preoccupied. There were only 3 tables filled that afternoon. The restaurant deserves more guests."
Dined on 4/17/2014
I booked the restaurant for an
informal business lunch when my first choice in the neighborhood was not available, so I was pleased with the convenience. The ambiance was good--not too formal, a quiet buzz from diners, and I appreciated that my party was put in a corner. The service was friendly, but too overbearing; we had three people who kept coming around, too frequently, and we felt badgered. The food was so-so--nicely presented, but the soup had a weird taste and the salad was unremarkable; my first choice was not available, and as I already felt rushed by the service, I made a quick decision and was not entirely happy."
Dined on 4/10/2014
Unfortunately in the 5 or more
years I've eaten in this restaurant, this is the first time the food was deplorable. It was obvious that the chef was not in the kitchen during this lunch. The butternut squash soup was watery & tasteless and did not even have the garnishes described on the menu in it. The beef tartare was brown and old as if it had been prepared with rotting meat or had been prepared days ahead and refrigerated. The crab cake was smelled extremely fishy when brought up to your mouth which made it impossible to eat. It seemed like it was not prepared with freshly picked crab meat. I love this restaurant and believe it was left in the wrong hands that day. There was no quality control in the kitchen."
Dined on 4/2/2014
Stopped in after work for the
pre-theatre dinner. Inflated wine prices, poor meal (cold soup with chunks to big to eat without cutting), salty entree, flaccid and Kroger quality dessert. Coffee shop ambiance at best. Place was empty except for screaming babies and one very large obnoxious party seated next to us - with another screaming baby. Did I mention place was empty? We complained about the noise but servers are clueless. Mostly standing around chatting cause they have nothing else to do. Took a while to get dessert - probably had to run to Harris Teeters to pick it up. Won't go back."
Dined on 4/4/2014
Let me emphasize first that
service and setting were excellent. The Maitre d'/waiter asked me how my lunch was (French onion soup and duck confit salad), and I said "quite good". He was concerned that I didn't rate it more highly and wanted to know why. At the time I wasn't up to dissecting the meal and interrupting my lunch conversation, so here goes. The French onion soup was well executed (good umami), but the onions were surprisingly low-flavor, and the Gruyere lacked the sharp note I'd expect. I'll chalk those problems up to raw materials. The duck confit salad was good, but watery. I'm not sure if it was the julienned apples or residual water in the greens; the extra water really took the shine and focus off the duck."
Dined on 4/2/2014
We were here on a very slow night
in the restaurant. The time between salad and entree was far too long and when the entree came it was obvious it had been sitting for awhile. The salad was good but the rest was passable. In a city of great restaurants, this one doesn't measure up!"
Dined on 4/1/2014
In other words, eat here only if
you are a hotel guest and don't have any other options."
Dined on 3/22/2014
We had a lovely birthday dinner
after a matinee performance on Sunday. The waiter was personable and went out of his way to check with the chef about ingredients in a few of the dishes (one member of our party is gluten-intolerant). There were only a few tables occupied early on Sunday, so it was quiet, which suited us well. The monkfish and the risotto got rave reviews! Since we had ordered the pre-theatre menu, our meals included dessert. The waiter brought us all glasses of very nice port for a birthday toast -- a very welcome treat! Circle Bistro remains my go-to place for pre- or post-theatre in Foggy Bottom."
Dined on 3/16/2014
I take guests there when I want a
chance to talk and enjoy good food. Nice bar also."
Dined on 2/27/2014
The staff person who greeted us
when we arrived seemed surprised to see us and then to learn we had an 8:30 PM reservation. Got the impression that the Circle Bistro did not cater to late diners. This was reinforced when all the other diners left by 9:30 PM and the waiters started rearranging tables for the next day's business. Our waiter assured us that we were not keeping the place from closing, but we did get that impression. My girlfriend had the cheese board, mussels, and a small salad. I got the salmon rillete and gnocdi. Everything was tasty, although the pasta was a little heavy. We may return, but not for another post-theater dinner."

Besides wonderful food (especially
the Roasted Butternut Squash Soup) there is an added advantage: you can avail yourself of the free valet parking, then take the Kennedy Center Shuttle to the play or concert and return. I gave the attendant $5 -- which saved me $17 if I had parked in the Center Garage."

If you're staying at the hotel
this place is in, then it might be a convenient spot -- and it might be good just for drinks, too. But I went with my boyfriend for Valentine's Day because they had a special prix-fixe menu, and we were both underwhelmed. It was $45 a person for three courses, and they were all pretty average. After messing up my boyfriend's appetizer, it took 30-40 minutes after the first course to get the second course. With spotty service and pretty average food, it's not a place I'd go again."

Circle Bistro offers a great local
spot to meet a friend for good conversation and food. The menu has everything from cheeseburgers to seafood. Offers valet parking which makes it easy to run over for a meal from Virginia. Fun Bar during the week."

We selected this restaurant based
on its rating and proximity to our hotel. The atmosphere in the restaurant was inviting and the service was good. However, the food was mixed. I ordered the butternut squash soup since I had read so many positive reviews of it, but they were out of it (at 7:30 on a Sat night). I also had the seared scallops with grit cake and braised red cabbage. All of the elements were tasty (except the grit cake) but the dish didn't hang together well. My daughter ordered the seafood mezzaluna which she didn't like. when I tasted it, the pasta was undercooked, the dish was under sauced, and the seafood filling was dense and unappetizing. However, the apple crisp desert was wonderful."

We enjoyed our Saturday evening
dinner at Circle Bistro. The menu is limited but all of our dishes were well-executed. Kate, our server, was lovely and fun. Our only quibbles: the lighting is a bit too bright, and tablecloths would be nice. But we would definitely return."

We really enjoyed our meal at
Circle Bistro, a boutique restaurant located inside the Washington Circle Hotel. The Monkfish was superbly prepared, and the Duck Confit salad was a delicious medley of fresh flavors. The Bistro has an excellent wine list, and were offering a special on 1/2 bottles of wine. Kate and staff took excellent care of us and I highly recommend for a top notch meal at a quiet restaurant with a modern atmosphere. We look forward to returning to sample the desserts."

My husband and I had been to
Circle Bistro before, but it had been a while ago. We had forgotten just how good Circle Bistro is. The food was all very well prepared. The squash soup was fantastic. The mussels were very tasty with a delicious broth. The Waygu steak frites and the salmon were both prepared perfectly. We also enjoyed the apple crisp. It was a delightful meal and I think we will be back more often."

This is no bells and whistles
spot, but the menu is always varied from time to time and the food selection is limited but nicely varied and so no need for mind boggling choices. Wine list is modest but like the food, a nice selection of very good and affordable choices. Often take friends and business associates and have always been satisfied. Servers are always pleasant and professional. Great spot for dinner ahead of a show at the Kennedy Center. For consistency, quality, affordability and reliability this remains one of my favourites."

We went there when the temps were
in the 20s and the wind was pretty strong. We walked in and it was warm and cozy. They had fireplaces lit which was very nice. My husband ordered the butternut squash soup but the portion was too large for us to finish. The chef came out to ask if there was anything wrong with it and we said that it was just more than we wanted. I thought that was pretty cool that they wanted to know if there was an issue. I wanted salmon but was not a fan of their preparation. It was in a salad and I wanted potatoes with mine. They made the change for me and it was a very nice dinner. We had nice wines by the glass and apple crisp for dessert. The waitress and support staff were very nice. I would go back!"

We are regular visitors to DC and
we always try new restaurants--especially the 1000 point slots--which is how we found this place. We were surprised to find upon our arrival at 8 pm, the place was empty except for a couple of people seated in the lounge area. Nevertheless our meal was quite good. We both had homemade pasta dishes--gnocchi and stuffed pasta--and both entrees were excellent. We had salads beforehand, also quite good. My only complaint was the coffee at the end of the meal and the server didn't charge for that item. Would definitely go again if we stay in Foggy Bottom, but would sit near the cozy fireplace near the bar next time."

We ate at Circle Bistro before a
Kennedy Center performance. The food was great as was the service. The restaurant was not crowded (which was surprising to us). They have a pre-theater menu with several of the items from the main menu. They have free parking in the hotel they are in (with validation) and you can park there all evening and take the shuttle to and from the Kennedy Center. Very convenient."

On a visit to DC this was our
night out on the town with a great Bollywood music show on Millenium Stage and a quiet dinner at Circle. Great location, stylish city décor - with courteous friendly service. The food was well prepared- the pumpkin soup sweet and delicious- the grilled salmon tasty served with baby spinach and the house burger came with melt in the mouth mashed potatoes. On this mild January evening we just enjoyed!"

This restaurant offered us some
great food items and some disappointing ones...the service was excellent, ambiance pleasant, location convenient for the Foggy Bottom area, etc. However, the menu is rather limited, the prices steep, and wait for food preparation rather long. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. Of the three of our party, only one of us was completely pleased with all of his choices. The other two were disappointed...a hamburger ordered medium rare arrived overdone and also somewhat dry and small. A seafood pasta dish turned out to be a large plate with a small portion of seafood filled ravioli...the menu simply was not clear about what the dish actually was to be. Our first and last visit to Circle Bistro."

I'm always looking for quiet
restaurants to meet friends at lunch time and it's very hard in Foggy Bottom. We had a table at the back of the restaurant and it was perfect for quiet talk. The Pumpkin Raviiolis were excellent--some of the best I've had And the fresh bread was far too tempting--cut in small sizes, it just kept calling to me."

I've been to Circle Bistro for
their happy hours in years gone by, as it is conveniently located by the Foggy Bottom Metro. So, when we looked for a restaurant with a fireplace on a Friday after work and Circle Bistro had a table for two, it was a go. We were not sorry as the ambiance was good as was the food, but we sat in the lounge area to be near the FP and that meant being next to the bar -- which on this occasion was hopping and LOUD! Oh, well, that's the way it should be, I guess, too bad we had hoped for a more sedate dinner rather than hoopin' and hollerin' two feet away. Though an aberration we could've avoided by sitting in the dining room away from the fray (and the fireplace), all was fine by the end of the meal..."

We enjoyed a quiet, happy
Thanksgiving meal at Circle Bistro. The meal was delicious. Because I am allergic to garlic, I had to forego the turkey, which had been soaked in a brine that had some garlic in it. Initially disappointed to miss the turkey, I ordered the Fall-vegetable risotto. It took just one bite for me to become convinced that risotto should become my new Thanksgiving staple. For whatever reason (perhaps because we dined early), the restaurant was not crowded, while other old favorites were fully booked a month in advance. The quality of the food and quiet sophistication of the room should make Circle Bistro a favorite destination for those wanting a special night out."

I had not been to Circle Bistro in
quite a while, but am happy to report that the meal and dining experience were very good. The bar (two Thursday night private parties) was very crowded and loud, but we were able to sit far enough away that it didn't bother us. I enjoyed the house salad, and Wagyu steak (tasty but a small portion), and swapped the french fries for potato puree. My date had the Salmon over a large bed of spinach (not baby lettuce as advertised, but the spinach was an improvement!). For dessert she had the pecan tart and I, the chocolate cake (several desserts were not available). Our server Kate truly rates an "Outstanding", being very attentive although quite busy. Will not wait so long for a return trip."

It was lovely - the quality of the food was outstanding, the wine list has a great selection, and they had us in and out in under an hour (which was good, as it was on my lunch break). I had the seafood ravioli and my boyfriend had the pumpkin ravioli - delicious. And, the portions were just right. I usually don't order pasta because it leaves me feeling heavy and full, but I was pleasantly satisfied after this meal. Will definitely be back for more meals!"

Aerodactyl is the second fastest Pokemon in the game (tied with Jolteon and Mewtwo), and packs a good Attack stat, a decent typing (Rock/Flying), and a critical hit ratio of roughly 25%. However, what's good about Aerodactyl pales in comparison to what's bad about it. Its defenses and HP are decidedly mediocre; expect it to eat a healthy chunk of damage from Hyper Beams and die to Explosions despite its Normal resistance. It is weak to Ice-, Water-, and Electric-type attacks, which are everywhere in the RBY metagame, and it easily has one of the worst movepools in the game. Luckily, being fast makes it hard for things that are already hurt to switch in, as they are most likely going to take two hits. Its unique typing and high Attack make it a strong UU choice, but all it has in OU play is its Speed.
Sky Attack is Aerodactyl's strongest attack, able to inflict heavy damage on any Pokemon that doesn't resist it. Factor in Aerodactyl's high critical hit rate and it becomes an attack that almost nothing enjoys switching into. While it does have a charge turn, Aerodactyl's Rock typing allows it to switch in often and get a free charge. Seeing Aerodactyl, if the opponent decides to switch into Gengar expecting Double-Edge or Hyper Beam, you can get off a Sky Attack for free as Gengar will be forced to switch out. Reflect allows Aerodactyl to counter most Snorlax more effectively. A combination of Double-Edge followed by Hyper Beam will do a lot to many Pokemon, especially after taking Aerodactyl's huge critical hit rate into consideration.
Other Options
Supersonic has a 55% chance to hit and confuse the opponent, which can be Aerodactyl's saving grace. Fly is a bit of a novelty option that could work as a STAB attack. Wing Attack is another option as a STAB attack that you probably shouldn't use, as it isn't very good in RBY with only 35 Base Power.
Checks and Counters
Aerodactyl can't damage Golem and Rhydon at all and will have to retreat upon seeing them. Starmie, Lapras, Slowbro... practically any Water-type Pokemon that can take a hit and deliver a Surf is a counter as well. Another way to counter Aerodactyl is to paralyze it, thus removing the only advantage it would otherwise have: its great Speed.

Why Can't We Be Friends?1 of 7
By Alison Singh Gee
Misunderstandings, jealousy and unintended slights can all take their toll on our friendships—and even lead to full-on falling-outs. If you've split up someone who used to be your best buddy, then here's a step-by-step guide for getting back together. While you may not be BFFs again right away, you'll certainly be on the road to friendship recovery.
Rewind the Tape2 of 7
First, think about the relationship you had with your friend and draw up a list of pros and cons so you can weigh the columns against each other. "If that person really hurt you and you don't think she's really changed, then maybe you don't want to cause yourself such distress again by reconnecting," says psychiatrist Eva Ritvo. However, if you decide that you can really move on from whatever happened between the two of you, then allow your ability to forgive empower you, she says.
Own Your Stuff3 of 7
Before you reach out, know that playing the blame game won't fix anything at this point, says life coach Paula Renaye, author of The Hardline Self Help Handbook: What Are You Willing to Do to Get What You Really Want. "If you want to have any kind of peaceful relationship with your old friend, then accept that you had a role in what happened," she explains. Taking responsibility for your own mistakes will keep you from needing to defend yourself. "It's hard to argue with You're right, I made mistakes, and it keeps the door open for rebuilding the relationship," she says.
Put It in Writing4 of 7
When you're ready to reconnect, get out your laptop or even the old-fashioned pen and paper combo. Oftentimes, it's easier to communicate your feelings in writing, says Ritvo. "This can take the emotional tone out of things, because you can think about what you want to say and how to say it," she says. "Plus, it also allows your friend time to react." She advises that you put your thoughts down, and then let the letter sit for a few days so you can look it over with fresh eyes before sending it off. This is not the time to send a rushed email or note.
Work Together5 of 7
When the two of you reconnect in person, be honest about why you think your friendship fell apart. Try to talk calmly by explaining your emotions—such as I feel like we only get together when I cook for you. It would be really nice to be in your home for a meal—rather than from a position of defensiveness, says Ritvo. If you didn't own up to your part in weakening the friendship in writing, then make sure to apologize now, even if you don't think you were in the wrong, she says. At this point, it's not about being right; it's about focusing on the next chapter of your relationship.
Take It Slow6 of 7
When you decide to start hanging out again, "tread carefully," says Ritvo. "You're not going to be instant best friends again, and you definitely don't want to take a vacation together as a way of reconnecting. (She also cautions against meeting for happy hour, as drinking alcohol tends to draw out emotions.) Instead, rebuild the friendship by bonding over a common interest or taking up a hobby together, she suggests, whether it's salsa dancing, rollerblading or trying out a new restaurant.
Ditch the Déjà Vu7 of 7
If your friend tries to bring up the past, particularly what stopped you from being friends in the first place, then halt that train in its tracks. "Try saying something like, Who knows what was going on with us back then, but I know I sure missed you," says Renaye. "Then, refocus the attention on the positive by saying, Remember when we used to…? and talk about the things that you loved doing together back then or what brought you back together in the present."

OMAHA (DTN) -- West, Texas, Mayor Tommy Muska knows he has a fine line to walk.
His community is still recovering from a devastating explosion of a fertilizer plant a year ago. For people in his city to readily accept a possible fertilizer supplier building a new facility there, officials know they'll need to approach the idea with extreme caution.
Farmers require fertilizer. At the beginning of this year's planting season, many farmers are traveling 15 to 20 miles to Hillsboro and Hubbard for ammonium nitrate and other supplies, the mayor said. City officials are in discussions with another company to replace West Fertilizer Co. to meet the farmers' needs.
"It's going to be a very slow process," he said. "The people here are very leery. But it is an important aspect of the town and our area. We have opened up the door with a possibility that with the right construction and guidelines, to have another fertilizer company in this area."
A new location could sit safely away from residential or other populated areas, with the potential for extending city limits to take advantage of sales tax revenues, he added.
While no new fertilizer plant has emerged yet, the community is making progress to rebuild and move past the tragic explosion that killed 15 firefighters and other first-responders, and injured hundreds of residents.
The town is well on its way to rebuilding its north side: 68 new homes have been built, 138 have finished some level of rebuild and 24 homes in the area again are occupied. A new 75,000-square-foot nursing home is under construction after the previous home was destroyed in the blast, and should be completed by the summer of 2015, Muska said.
"We lost 134 residents who are no longer in West," Muska said. "Folks who were in the nursing home are scattered throughout the area. Hopefully within a year they will come back."
In addition, work has started on a new $20 million junior/senior high school, as area students continue to use temporary facilities. The city continues to work out the details with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the state of Texas on millions more in funds to complete streets, water and other infrastructure projects.
"We lost $20 million in property tax and we can't borrow money now," Muska said, as the city's bond rating took a hit following the disaster. Wages were frozen, and the city delayed equipment purchases and other needs for two years running.
Despite the loss in property tax revenues, Muska said the city saw an 11% increase in sales tax revenues. The city also expects to see more help from the state's rainy-day fund.
One area was critical to invest in again: the ability to fight future emergencies. Five volunteer firefighters were lost from the West department. Muska said five new recruits and new equipment are helping the department rebound.
Investigators continue to leave open the possibility that criminal activity could have led to the fire and resulting ammonium nitrate explosion in the fertilizer plant a year ago.
Texas State Fire Marshal Chris Connealy, who is heading the investigation, told DTN he continues to focus on three things: a potentially faulty 120-volt electrical system on the property, a golf cart that could have accidently caught fire, or that the fire was intentionally started.
"It's still an active investigation," he stressed. "There has been a lot of information gathered."
So far, the investigation found a fire started in a room that contained seed and other materials onsite, and continued to build and traveled to wood-framed bins storing AN.
Heat from the blaze started to decompose ammonium nitrate and built up pressure, Connealy said. A first explosion occurred when the roof of the bins collapsed, "creating a shock" that led to the second, fatal blast.
The Texas Fire Marshal's office continues to work with experts at a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives laboratory in Maryland to make a final determination on the cause of the fire, he said.
While the investigation is ongoing, he said his department is slated to release a final report in May that outlines the actions taken by volunteer firefighters and others in West, and to give firefighters across the state intelligence on what could be done to combat similar fires.
"Next month we'll meet with the families of the victims and the fire chief before the report is released," Connealy said.

Out & About: Russell Brand at the G20 Summit, Jefferson Hack and Franz Ferdinand
By admin on April 1st, 2009
Russell Brand was pictured today alongside protesters against the G20 summit outside the Bank of England the City of London. He told press: "I always come to these kind of things, I'm very interested. I am interested in learning and interested in why these people have come to this. I wonder what alternatives there are and I think it makes people cogent of them. I think it's also very beautiful," That's a wonderful sentiment, but I just wish he'd get rid of the McQueen skull scarf! Jump through to see who else was out and about today.

Steam Update Restores Earth 2160 Playabilityby Chris Faylor, Apr 17, 2009 2:50pm PDT
Steam operator Valve has released a new version of the digital distribution client, which resolves the issues Earth 2160 owners have been experiencing for over two months.
After a February client update, the Steam version of Reality Pump's strategy game refused to load due to Steam-specific error. Though aware of the issue, Steam sold the broken game for more than two months, but pulled it shortly after our report.
While the game has yet to return to the Steam Store, owners of Earth 2160 will be prompted to download the client update when they try to boot the game. After restarting Steam, the game may be listed under the "Not Installed" category, even if it is installed, but "Install Game" will restore the game without re-downloading the entire 900MB.
The Steam Client patch notes follow below. No word yet if this fixes the "invalid CD key" issues some are having with the Steam release of Titan Quest: Immortal Throne.
- Steam Client
- New delivery system for Steam IM/Marketing messages
- Added support for DLC CD keys and custom install steps
- Added new features to installscript

Exchanging MacBook. Easiest way to back up?
I just bought my first Mac, a MacBook Air, and I'm mostly really pleased with it but I'm going to exchange it for a MacBook Pro for the extra power.
Since it's my first, I'm pretty new to the OS, so I was wondering what would be the easiest way to carry over my stuff from the MBA to the MBP? I've tried to look it up but most of the solutions require another Mac, which I do not have. Any help would be appreciated.
|Nov 27, 2012, 11:07 PM
external drive
Time Machine > backup to external
new mac < restore from backup
|Nov 28, 2012, 01:08 AM
I ask because the MBP and MBA are two different machines, with differences in hardware - not least of which might be the type of storage, depending on the type of MBP chosen by Kappei as a replacement for the MBA. (Hard Disk Drive or SSD)
Restoring one to the other by complete replication of the System may result in conflicts.
Kappei, where did the files on the MBA come from btw? Do some of them exist exclusively on the MBA or did you already have them and did you perhaps use another type of storage or a previous computer to set up the MBA?
|Nov 28, 2012, 01:20 PM
This isn't gospel but I've never had an issue restoring a TM backup from one Mac to another, of any type, as long as it supports the OS - I presume there's a lot of driver redundancy built-in. G4 iBook -> Intel iMac for example.
If you want to play it safe you can use Migration Assistant instead but that would require having both computers at the same time (which it sounded to me like the OP may not if they are exchanging it) and they need to be networked. I tend to use that more if I'm just shifting individual accounts.
|Nov 28, 2012, 02:13 PM
I was thinking about suggesting using the Time Machine Backup you recommended for transferring files and settings from the MBA by connecting that external drive with TM directly to the new MBP right after the first Start Up. When Set Up Assistant comes to the screen "Transfer Information to this Mac" it will be possible to select "From Time Machine or other Disk".

Our current Western cultural values are intrinsically individualistic to the detriment of our communities. Instead of being collaborative, we are competitive; instead of being empathic, we are sociopathic; instead of being altruistic, we are ego-driven. The concept of Social Darwinism is a fallacy – the drive for survival of our genes does not necessitate a dog-eat-dog society but, instead, one of collaboration and cooperation. Society as it is at present is headed for collapse instead of following the pathway that has thus far allowed us to evolve.
In short, the social system itself is considered the root cause of our pathological culture, with human behaviour and its resulting effects – corruption, pollution, wars, waste, exploitation, and, hence, distortion of values and psychology – seen as symptoms stemming from this fundamental root source.
Our values in modern western society are clearly skewed. We view success as having more, hoarding more, showing off, decorating our meaningless empty lives with pettiness. We have allowed our egos to be defined by materialism and competition, not integrity and compassion. The dominant culture is pathological. We need a new paradigm, a new culture, a new zeitgeist.
We're in trouble
As we know we're not doing that great a job of sustaining our planet – in an extremely short space of time – during a period known as modern "civilization†– we've managed to pollute our air, water systems and soil; we've managed to increase global temperatures by releasing massive amounts of previously sequestered CO2; cut down most of our forests; and rendered enough species extinct to qualify for a 6th phase of mass-extinction.
Welcome to the "anthropocene†era – the era in which humans are the driving force behind changes in our planetary systems. We've sought dominion over that which is not rightfully ours, and we have not been good stewards.
We are raping and pillaging our planet. Fracking, drilling, mining, logging, damming, dumping, looting, pillaging, plundering, consuming, burning, toxifying, dredging – hurtling toward extinction as though it were our aim and we are right on target.
We're hurting our brothers and sisters all around the world. Invading, stealing, bombing, usurping, enslaving, impoverishing, trafficking, blood diamonds, child soldiers, boom and bust, inflation and depression, creating new weapons, new diseases, new medicines that make us sicker, machines that steal our jobs, laws that rob the poor, trickle down, fantasy – we are on the top deck of the Titanic and the ship is going down.
We're hurting ourselves. Misinforming, de-educating, dumbing down, fattening up, addicting, abusing, harassing, discriminating, dividing stratifying, incarcerating, kids on Ritalin, parents on Prozac, keeping up with the Jones's, grannies in "homes†– is this the best we can do?
We've created a civilization hellbent destroying itself – and taking everything else down with it. The Earth does not get to opt out.
We have created a culture of violence – addicted and abusive. We need to change the default.
The system of reinforcement
Modern psychological and sociological study has found that human actions are susceptible to environmental influence. What is rewarded by the culture tends to be perpetuated. For example, it is commonly considered a "moral" issue when a corporation engages in deliberate pollution to save money. Many complain that the corporation's people must be "corrupt" if they allow for such a thing. The flaw, however, is in the assumption. If we exist in a system that allows us to "save money" and hence be more "economically efficient" by being exploitative, abusive or indifferent, why should we not expect it to occur, especially in a system based on competition where advantage is always sought? It is thus that we manage to live in a system which, on the one hand, condemns a certain action as "immoralâ€, yet on the other hand rewards it as though it were a virtue.
In other words, "corruption" is being reinforced. Therefore the solution is not more "laws" to try and stop this behavior. The solution is to create a social system that does not reinforce or reward such behavior at all. Laws are mere "patches" that work against the internal logic of the system as it stands.
Social norms and values
The social norm of consumerism, which values "consuming†over "doingâ€, "beingâ€, or "producingâ€, dominates society. This dominance is problematic for several reasons: (1) consumerism requires that people forever consume more, which is not possible on a finite planet; (2) happiness derived from consumption is transitory; no matter how much individuals consume, they never achieve fulfilment; and (3) consumerism creates and reinforces systemic inequalities. The challenge for a sustainable system is to create a new social norm in which the vast majority of people routinely choose enough instead of more. The shift towards a "mass behaviour of enoughness†will require the rapid diffusion of new values through the multiple networks that make up society. The promotion of the benefits of non-materialistic lifestyles, and creation of the infrastructure to allow new forms of corporate and civic entities to emerge, requires that resistance from large corporations and the state be somehow overcome.
There is an implied acceptance across most of society that the self-seeking, individualistic values that form the backdrop to consumerism are reasonable and necessary. This acceptance needs to be reversed. Ordinary people can set a positive example by living values that reject consumerism. Motivation is also key to achieving behavioural change. Consumerism only appeals to some of the core human motivations (i.e. hedonism, status, and achievement). Love, connectedness, friendship, spirituality, and creativity are also powerful sources of motivation, and it is crucial to tap into these.
Having come to see ourselves as consumers our society has become extremely wasteful and demanding. Our desire to consume more, despite the fact that such consumption does not hold the key to lasting happiness, leads us to waste more and more of our valuable resources, even time that could be better spent nurturing relationships and the human potential is, instead, wasted on striving for the financial resources required to consume more stuff, and on then consuming it.
We are manifest as demanding, a product of a McDonaldized society, reluctant to expend effort to create positive change, familiar only with ordering and purchasing, unsatisfied with quick fixes but knowing no different. Instead of doing something ourselves we pay for others to do it, instead of learning skills we consume services, instead of participating in activity we watch from the sidelines, impatient and dissatisfied if a lower-than-expected outcome is delivered. We are a society that demands a social revolution to be bestowed from the top-down rather than taking the responsibility to participate in being the change we wish to see. This is not a culture that will manifest the change it wishes to see.
Disproportionate rates of poverty, unemployment, and homelessness reflect the inherent inequalities that are built into a system based on violent acquisition of scarce resources. In order to understand how best to address the failings of our current paradigm it is necessary to examine the model and its alternatives. Neo-classical economics is speculation, adherence to faulty narratives and erroneous premises, and although based on falsifiable hypotheses is treated as almost religious-like dogma by its adherents in the face of the overwhelming evidence stacked against precious beliefs. Growth economics – the current economic zeitgeist, is the inherently flawed concept of an ever-growing monetary economy in which we attempt to continue to produce and consume at ever-increasing rates while neglecting the all-too apparent fact that the carrying capacity of our landbase cannot be exceeded by either population growth or consumption of resources without disaster. It is precisely this delusion of infinite growth that we need to move away from.
We have a system that is based on growth and consumption, waste and destruction, debt and depletion. We do not have a system rooted in ethics – in environmental ethics, socioeconomic ethics, in ethical governance, and interpersonal ethics. We are waiting for our system to be fixed, but often forgetting that a major factor in the repair is within us all.
Environmental ethics requires that we sustain the earth as it sustains us and all life along with us. It requires that we do not take, but view exchange in terms of a symbiotic giving and receiving, with a recognition that we cannot expect to receive without nurturing that which gives. We seem to be forgetting the system of reciprocity, and our poor ethics in this regard are already manifest in devastating outcomes that have far-reaching implications for the future and effects that our planetary co-habitants cannot opt out of, despite having never been considered.
Socioeconomic ethics assumes equity of access to the resources necessary for survival. In our competition-driven system we have forgotten how to collaborate to ensure equal access and opportunity for all, striving only to become top-dog, surviving off the sweat of those less fortunate. To expect peace in a world lacking such ethics is to assume a lack of consciousness on the part of the disadvantaged. This would be a gross error in judgment.
Ethics is largely missing from our governance. We take short cuts, only allowing participation in decision-making from those in positions of economic power, neglecting the needs of the majority. This oversight regarding the need for equality in order for justice to apply is precisely the cause of our need for laws that protect the wealthy from the so-called crimes of the deprived, thus further perpetuating their exclusion.
Even our interpersonal ethics are suffering. Although we demand high ethical standards of our political leaders and corporate bodies we often fail to demand the same of ourselves. In a society in which such hypocrisy is the norm progress is unlikely.
To build a system rooted in ethics would be to build a system that is truly sustainable – one in which we do not outstrip the carrying capacity of our landbase, where we can ensure equality and justice, and where peace and cooperation are norms.
The system
The global system is not 'out there' in the ether. It exists only in human minds. We are the system. While clearly we did not design and build it, we are responsible for its continued existence into the future. It will persist as long as we do not change our minds, so long as we continue silently to give it our consent, remain acquiescent and conforming. It is our implicit consent that allows the system to persist.
None of us can discount the need to understand human behavior and what causes us to act in the way we do. When faced with scarcity and artificial barriers to survival one is forced to compete, and our current sociopathic society based on social Darwinism is a reflection of this. If we are to facilitate a world in which collaboration leads to the development of our humanity and the sustainability of that which sustains us then we will need to face the responsibility for our own actions and behavior, and face the ever-encroaching fact that our current zeitgeist is unsustainable. A non-monetary resource-based economy is one in which the likelihood of equality, peace and sustainability is far higher, and so, in turn, is our survival as a species.
